What happened to the custom display names?

Bobo removed them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Are you telling me that during gonk week, I could have displayed all of those name changes to their original names for my personal viewing experience?

Could someone explain what it did? I get the impression this was a chat thing, so if thats the case, I am sorry. ;_;

I'm pretty amazed you completely missed this. Alright, it was a mod Blah installed that made it possible to change your display name, the one that'd appear next to posts, at will. He also made an option to turn them off and on, as well as which way you would see the changed names. It was also possible to click the usernames and see their original one in the postbit.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Mo0, I believe Miles said something about this feature only being activated during board wide theme chains.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Arguing this any furthur would seem to be a pointless endeavor. I don't even see why you would need to change your name outside of a theme chain, anyway.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
